The Adding Machine, by Elmer Rice, is a comedic drama that critics consider a classic of early 20th century drama. It is an enduring classic because it examines the consequences of not being fully human, fully alive, in one's life and in one's world. The play searches for answers to who we are and where we will go! The Adding Machine played for eight performances in the summer of 2004: July 15, 16, 17 & 22, 23, 24 at 8 PM with Sunday matinees on July 18th and 25th at 3 PM .
